Marina Del Rey, California - May 16,
2012 – Gravity Interactive, a publisher of
exciting massive multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs),
launched today the latest content patch for their wildly popular
anchor title, Ragnarok Online. Enter Port Malaya to discover

MVP monster cast; there’s so much new content it will be hard
to decide what to try first! Players can rush over to the

Welcome to the Port Town of Malaya, where the water’s
always warm and the monsters are always dangerous. Enjoy
dozens of new quests, including an entire suite of daily tasks to
perform aimed at level 100+ characters. Join up with fellow
adventurers to plumb new dungeons, testing the strongest characters
and honing their boss hunting skills to a fine edge.

Delve deep into these raids to discover the hidden story of
Malaya. Acquire powerful new equipment, including the new
Tattoos, which will grant your character new permanent buffs!
Use these newfound powers to tackle the most challenging enemies
yet, including rare MVP Monsters, which will challenge veteran
players to rise to a new level.

“Port Malaya is the largest town expansion update, both in
sheer size and in features, providing both high level activities
and challenges and is deservedly the most talked about expansion
town update Ragnarok has ever had!“ Said Jason
“Heimdallr” Koerperich,

Ragnarok Online Producer at Gravity Interactive. “ We are
happy to provide this update so far ahead of our community‘s
expectations as a wonderful surprise to our loyal
players!”

1000 years of peace have reigned, and the world has forgotten
the horrors of the age of myth; as in all things, peace can never
last forever, and evil waits patiently. Once friendly
monsters turned aggressive; soon after followed demons attacking,
and the dead rising from their graves. Heroes appeared to
beat back the invasions until the fateful day that Satan Morocc
destroyed the peaceful town of Morroc, his freedom granted by the
insane and corrupt humans of Midgard. The heroes re-gathered
themselves and pushed back with everything they had but only a
stalemate was possible. The delicate seals that protect the
world from spilling into complete chaos weaken and break; only the
knowledge and power from the age of myth can save Midgard from
certain doom. Can you and your allies push back the threat of
total annihilation and protect Midgard from the final
Ragnarok? Join now at
